Those who can form bonds with spirits are called spirit masters. Ji Xun was born into a family of spirit masters, but had no spiritual power from birth. Branded a "useless good-for-nothing," he dutifully lived as an ordinary person for over twenty years and planned to find a job after graduation and settle down. But before he could even finish his thesis, all sorts of strange things began happening around him. A neighbor's bizarre death, a deserted house with an eerie layout, a giant coffin deep in the mountains... Faced with one bizarre event after another that defied everything he knew, Ji Xun thought it over carefully, then looked at his handsome, capable, taciturn new neighbor and decided to cling to him for dear life. Staying alive was what mattered. Who would have thought that, while clinging to him, Ji Xun would go from being the family's well-known good-for-nothing to a rising star in the spirit-master world? The relatives who had once looked down on him suddenly took a liking to him, and even the clan leader, who had lived for over a hundred years, wanted to appoint him as his successor. Ji Xun smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you, but I only want to live an ordinary, uneventful life like a normal person." Later, he discovered that this wish had been doomed from the start. Because he wasn't human at all. Ji Xun was stunned by the revelation. His new neighbor looked at him as an eerie, demonic silver-white light spread through his eyes, and a smile slowly curled his lips. · Chang Yicheng has a secret: he isn't human, and neither is the one he loves. He crawled out of the endless hell and returned to the world after all these years with only one goal: to find that person and ask, "How much longer will you make me wait before you're willing to remember me?"

Split-personality evil ghost top x reluctant big-shot bottom.] After Pei Lin died, he transmigrated into a survival game and became one of the players trying to clear it. His original character was the complete opposite of him: delicate, weak, and timid. All he had to do was shed a few pitiful tears each day, and the players would be overwhelmed with the urge to protect him. In short, he was a peerlessly beautiful vase with nothing going for him but his looks. Faced with the System's warning that breaking character would get him killed, Pei Lin had no choice but to lower himself and play along. From then on: When his teammates charged forward, he cheered them on. When they fought over monsters, he politely stepped aside. When they bickered over dungeon rewards, he stood by and cried, "Stop, please, don't fight anymore!" Until one day, the final boss went berserk and was about to slaughter everyone. The only player still able to move was Pei Lin. With a helpless look on his world-weary face, he stabbed the boss to death and even tore down its lair. Just as he was celebrating that no one had seen, Teammate A, who had been gravely injured and unconscious, woke up. Seeing the System's red OOC warning appear, Pei Lin promptly squeezed out two tears. "I was so scared all alone just now. I was afraid I'd never see you again." "..." Qi Fengmian glanced at the boss's blood-soaked chest, pressed a hand to his own chest, which Pei Lin had stabbed through just minutes earlier, and asked with an adoring smile, "Do you think I'm blind?" · All the players of Dawn know that clearing the game lets them return to the real world. But only Qi Fengmian knows that the game's true grand prize is becoming an eerie-looking evil ghost within the game. Trapped in an endless cycle, killed over and over by players filled with hostility, he finally waited for the dawn that belonged to him. Theme: Be a good person
